resize video

Hi
Is it possible to resize a video file and play without using the play button?
Thanks

Hi Sílvia,

I hope you don’t mind, I moved your question to the Support section of the forums, as I think it’s more appropriate

How about using the .size and .play commands, like this?

newTrial(
    newButton("Watch video").print().wait().remove()
    ,
    newVideo("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/CanoeTacking.webm")
        .size("80vw","auto")
        .print()
        .play()
        .wait()
)

Note that most browsers will require a user interaction to happen on the page for play to automatically start the video, hence my Watch video button (but any prior interaction in your experiment will do)

Thanks Jeremy!
Another question. Do you recommend any video extension (mp4, webm, ..) to load and play it faster?
Thanks again! and thank you for your quick response

The rule is simple: lighter files will load faster. Both formats (WebM and MP4) tend to produce files on the lighter end, but only MP4 (H.264) is supported by most major browsers, so I’d go with that.
